After enjoying the simplicity and reliability of Firefox's link sharing to any device you have the browser installed on for years, I've found flow so comically bad that it's likely going to push me back to Firefox.

Between Flow disconnecting, not showing links and the limitation and hassle of having to connect all my devices independently of logging into the browser with my Opera login, I just can't imagine how any developer thought this feature was sufficient. It's less hassle for me to message myself links to open via FB messenger on another device.

That's all. Enjoy your day.

@leocg thanks very much for the clarification, leo. I'll disable it and install a more capable ad blocker.

@sheddy606 sorry, I have no idea what you're saying.

Hello there, neighbors!

I'm wondering how to block an element on a web page with the baked in ad blocker. Google just keeps leading me to ABP pages.

Thanks for your time!

Thanks for all the help.

Hello there, everyone!

Before I deal with the trials and tribulations that entail Wine configuration, Does anyone have firsthand experience in running GX in linux under wine? I'm really not a fan of using it as a compatibility layer but since it's pretty clear that Opera has no intention of making it available in linux(if the historical pile of ignored topics are to be taken into account), I figured it's Wine or nothing.

Thanks for your time!

Hi there everyone!

Two Opera browsers, both logged in with same Opera account and sync shows as enabled. In spite of this, I don't get autocomplete in a browser based on visits in another browser, I don't get bookmarks pushed to the other browser when I add one to the bookmark bar.... it doesn't seem to be syncing anything.

Have I neglected to do something? Does it just take a long time for things to sync? Other browsers I use do this almost immediately and I expected the same I guess.

Thanks for your time!

@leocg Thanks very much for the help, leo. I'll find another app to meet my needs.

Hi there!

I'm trying to replace my other browsers on Android. Both of those browsers offer a function within other apps an option to share with my other browsers. As an example, if I hit the share button on the flip board app, every app that offers a share feature shows up there. Firefox offers to share to my other browser sessions and I use it to open the links in my desktop browser.

Opera doesn't seem to offer anything of the sort.

Is there any way to get that sort of functionality with opera?

@sgunhouse Is there any way you know of to force the font to change for me? Even if it's an addon/extension that allows style changes. I spend a lot of time on some of these forums and it really does cause a headache to try to read such a thin font for me.

@sgunhouse Sure, very sorry I didn't do so earlier. Here's the page I'm looking at:

It's on a Win 10 machine.

Hi there everyone!

I'm trying out the FB Messenger app via the sidebar and everything works great except for the desktop notifications checkbox. If I click the sound checkbox, that checks and unchecks but if I click the desktop notifications checkbox, it detects my click(the checkbox pulses) but it's uncheckable.

Is there something else I need to do to be able to enable desktop notifications?

Thanks for your time!

@sgunhouse

Issue persists with ad blocker disabled.

Any other suggestions would be most welcome. The font is causing me to go blind, I think

Thanks for your time!

Hi there everyone,

The sites that look like this in Firefox, Edge and Safari look like what's on the left while Opera presents it as what's on the right.

The text is so thin that it's impossible to distinguish between font color, which is how a lot of forums distinguish read and unread. I've checked and the font settings are identical between Firefox and Opera.

Is there some way I can make the font in Opera look like that in Firefox?

Thanks for your time!
